Yeah but talk of Hogg, Cunningham, Pelter and Clapham is just bollocks.
Cunningham, if he was that good, would be in the A League already having trained with Perth
Perth may not have been looking for defenders at the time, or the coaching staff at the time didn't see much in him, or he may have had an off day/week.
I think just cos someone hasn't picked up a contract with a team after training with them they shouldn't be written off. Different coaches see different things in players. Take Manny Muscat for example. He was playing in the Victorian League. Aussie teams must have been aware of him but the Nix were the only ones to see something decent in him, and look how well he plays in the A-League now.
Plus Cunningham has had additional experience since his Perth days.
